They Walk Among Us:
My husband and I went through the Takeaway drive through window and I gave the
cashier a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar back.'
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t
do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Keep it simple!

We had to have the garage door repaired
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a
'large' enough motor on the opener
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that
time, a 1/2 horsepower
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four
is larger than two.'
We haven't used that repairman since...

I live in a semi - rural area.
We recently had a new neighbour call the local city council office to
request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think
this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
